"When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there
is something wrong in society – so when a woman destroys the life of her
unborn child, it is an evidence that either by education or circumstances
she has been greatly wronged."

Mattie Brinkerhoff
The Revolution – 1869

Abortion.

Every woman's right?

A fundamental freedom?

The solution to sexism, discrimination and poverty?

For some, abortion is accepted without scrutiny as
necessary for women’s advancement. But a growing number of women are
giving abortion a second look, and reconsidering whether it has fulfilled
the many promises made to us.

Abortion rights activists promised us a world of
equality, reduced poverty. A world where every child would be wanted.
Instead, child abuse has escalated, and rather than shared responsibility
for children, even more of the burden has shifted to women.

By promoting abortion instead of working for social
changes that would make it possible to combine children and career,
abortion advocates have betrayed a majority of wage earning women who want to have children.

While members of the 70s’ women’s movement continue to
promote abortion, another movement is going forward with real solutions.
This movement, a renaissance of original American feminism, is built on a
progressive ethic that challenges the status quo.

Pro-life feminists recognize abortion as a symptom of,
not a solution to, the continuing struggles we face in the workplace, at
home and in society. Like Susan B. Anthony and other early American
suffragists, today's pro-life feminists envision a better world, where no
woman would he driven by desperation into the personal tragedy of
abortion:

A world in which pregnancy and motherhood are accepted
and supported.

*

A structured workplace that supports mothers rather than
forcing them to choose between their children and their careers.

*

A society that supports the role of mothers and values
the role of fathers, and helps fathers provide both financial and
emotional support for their children.

*

A culture where "stay-at-home moms" are afforded
respect.

Since both sides of the abortion issue agree that no
woman wants to have an abortion, it is a cruel hoax to call abortion a
woman s "choice." No woman should be forced to choose between
relinquishing life and career plans or suffering through a humiliating,
invasive procedure and sacrificing her child.

Abortion is a last resort, not a free choice.
